The Committee on Proposal Evaluation for Allocation of Supercomputing Time for the Study of Molecular Dynamics evaluated submissions received in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Biomolecular Simulation Time on Anton, a supercomputer specially designed and built by D.E. Shaw Research (DESRES) that allows for dramatically increased molecular dynamics simulations compared to other curren......

Supercomputers play a significant and growing role in a variety of areas important to the nation.They are used to address challenging science and technology problems. In recent years, however, progress in supercomputing in the United States has slowed.The development of the Earth Simulator supercomputer by Japan that the United States could lose its competitive advantage and, more importantly, the......
